These nanogels can form stable oil-water emulsions with photocontrollable actuators, enabling reversible emulsification and demulsification. The researchers applied this technology to efficiently extract cinnamon oil from biomass, achieving a high purity of 97.21% cinnamaldehyde.

so icee is the gold standard.

granule size is directly correlated to demulsification; whereas smaller granules melt quicker and cause more liquid to separate from the ice.

also, larger ice granules cause brain freeze more intensely and more quickly.

Colin then tackled amplicon recovery. He compared reported droplet disruption methods and developed a new thermal protocol combining key features from each. His method achieved the highest DNA recovery of all tested strategies. (5/8)

Oral polyphenol-based microbeads with synergistic demulsification and fat locking for obesity treatment

This is cool! Oral microbeads made with components from green tea and seaweed can absorb emulsified fat derivatives and then get excreted from the body. 🧪

Thanks 22nd Gums and Stabilizer Conference for giving me the opportunity for a keynote speech on #mouthfeel. Very excited to be at Wageningen with Chenxi and Gloria - presenting oral and poster presentations! #alternativeprotein, #Pickeringemulsion, #demulsification #water-in-water emulsion!
